One of his favorite subjects is Liberty Bonds. The bonds are absolutely the best secured in the world so he dare not attack them openly. He whispers to you to sell them, hoping to de- moralize the market. And he has about as much chance of doing this as he had of winning the war. It is characteristic Hun stupidity. Every time you are app Liberty Bond or to trade it for stock in some un- known and unestablished project, remember it is the voice of the Hun speaking. Then take another grip on your Liberty Bonds and hold tight. Keep those you have and be ready to buy moré when the Victory Liberty Loan is offered for sale in April. THE TINIEST GOOD FELLOW IS NO FAIR WEATHER FRIEND We hope that we can justly call most creatures of the meadows and woods our friends, but for some we have respect ,for others admiration, and, for a few, real affection. And to none do we give winter crumbs more willingly than to the house wren. That busy little bit of feathers. Perky, saucy, unafraid; just seems to know that nobody would be ornery enough to harm him. The wren likes folks, he does. He desires to. dwell in some corner of the shed, to fuss about while you are at work; to chirp his comment on the-day’s doings; to stop, occasionally, and twist his tiny head about ,and fix you with that beady, black pointpoint of an eye of his; look you over closely to see that you are as usual, and with no concealed tid bits about you; then a flirt of his i tail, a chirp, and he’s all over the place again. He doesn’t want much of a house. If you pre- sent him with a shoe box he'll work for days until he fills it; all/but atiny corner where his mate can squeeze in and attend to her housekeeping. And, in due time, flirt off the nest, scolding her half dozen microscopic offspring. , He doesn’t desert you when the blizzards come. He is no fair weather friend; wandering off to sunny pastures just when you need cheering the most. No, sir, if Mr. Wren adopts have yourself, he will stick clos cunious brother-in-law. While there are a lot of things we have laid hold of that we prefer to the business like curve of the axe handle, stil], when Mr. Wren is straight- ening things up out in the woodshed, we don’t mind spending an hour or two in close communication with the pile of knots. The knots that we dis- dained early in the season, but that now represent about all the heat units on hand. We sort of feel sorry for the fellow who hasn’t a wren and a woodpile all his own. Indeed there is a dark neighborhood mystery out our way that we might d some light on, were we so foolish. It concerns the strange vanishment of one large black tom cat, that went romancing one fine after- noon and n came back. As we were saying; that wren is a friend of ours. rou, and you be- r than an impe- TIME SPENT IN A PUBLIC LIBRARY WELL SPENT— Of course, the fiction books in a public library are in constant circulation, but it is seldom that the Personality of the readers is impressed upon their pages. ‘ Seldom is it that anything on the margins or between the pages of such books catches the at- tention or arouses interest. But when an inspection is made of the books in the reference department, what interesting discov- 5 TIME eties. we make and what astonishing glimpses we! get into the minds of those people who have poured over, them. : What & forlorn outlook on life has the man who upon the margin of a page in “The Riddle cf the Universe” pencilled this comment: “There is Ro hereafter, I know it absolutely !” | And what a straightforward, confident attitude toward life and death has the young woman who in the firm, optimistic lines of youth wrote upon the margin of @ Bible Commentary page “God is gooditome!

UNTIL HE HAS GIVEN EVERYTHIN | Guynemer, France's ace of aces, who made the supreme sacrifice, used to say: “No man has given anything until he There is no limit to {the duty of a man when his country needs him.” Would that we could have that, gallant French- man impart that spirit to that small number of our workers who are thinking cr talking about re- signing. This is not time for negotiations. The |big fight is the last fight—the Victory Liberty , Loan. It must be put over as gloriously as any éf t its predecessors. None of us dares quite now. Read Guynemer again! THE OYSTER IS THE LY ANIMAL THAT SLEEPS ALL THE TIME The strange sleeping sickness which doctors report as an after-effect of flu, is no more new than sleep itself, that greatest mystery of life. On March 17, 1890, the London Daily Chron- icle printed the following dispatch from Vienna: “Several cases of a new disease, which recently appeared in Mantua immediately after the sub- sidence of the influenza epidemic, have occurred in the comitat of Pressburg. Persons suffering| from this complaint fall into a death-like trance, |! lasting about four days, out of which the patient wakes in a state of intense exhaustion. Recovery is very slow, but, so far, no fatal case has been reported.” : Twenty-nine years have passed since then, butt the doctors are still in the dark. What is this strang process called sleep? Why must we spend a third of our only too short life in bed, dead to the world, motionless, unconscious? Sleep continues as baffling a mystery as in the! days when Eve was created in the sleep of man. You, reader, a few hours from now. will slip to bed and mentally vanish from this world. What happens then? Does your soul live. in another world at night? The Coriat school of doctors believe that. sleep ‘is the result of a relaxing of the muscles, the re- laxing being necessary to rid the system of poisons that have accumulated during wide-awake hours. Claperede’s theory was that sleep is Nature’s protection to prevent us killing ourselves by ex- haustion. Dr. Boris Sidis decided that monotony is the cause of sleep—that we slumber when there are no longer interesting, stimulating sensations to keep us awake. If we believe Sidis, we sleep be- cause we are bored. For instance, the man sleep- ing in church when not fatigued. Eight hours is the average sleep required, though there are unusual cases such as William Depue who wakened January 15,1896, in Bushkill, Pa., after sleeping steadily for seven years. ‘Depue insisted that he slept only one night, that jokers (had shifted calendars on ‘him. Edison says we all sleep too much. He gets along with four hours’ slumber nightly. So did | Napoleon, Frederick the Great, Mirabeau and John Hunter, the English surgeon. Edison’s theory is that we are approaching the ;time when the human being will require practically no sleep. An oyster, one of the lowest forms of ‘life, lacks the power of movement—it sleeps always. | Achild sleeps most of the time—‘“slept like a jbabe.” As it matures, the need of sleep grows |less. Old folks need fewer hours of sleep—and are easily awakened by slight‘ sounds. This tendency in the maturing of the indi- |vidual is true of ‘the maturing of civilized races. |The city-dweller of today requires much less sleep than his prehistoric ancestors—or even the lower |forms of present human life, such as the dog-eat- ing Igorrotes. | As man develops further, will sleep become Jess jand less necessary ? Though it wastes a third of your time, would you do away with the bliss of warm blankets and absolute forgetfulness if you could? Iamblichus, that great philosopher, wrote that ithe night-time of the body is the day-time of the soul—a beautiful theory that- harmonizes ‘with the idea of the eventual sleep that knows no waking. ’ We are closest to the Creator when asleep— apart from evil. Under its spell the-worst criminal is as innocent as a babe in arms. Sleep may be the real life, and our waking period but 2 dream or nightmare.. The weirdest mystery of life, it con- sumes one-third of our valuable earthly time and eventually clutches us in the Last Sleep, the great adventure in which, all are drafted on an equal footing. |.

There is as much “fraterniz between the French and German: not more—as between’ the Amer! and Germans, The same may be of the Pritish. Paris Army officers say “fraternization” | is the wrong word. It is not the nature of allied soldier to “kick a loser around when he down,” they explain. American soldiers are treating. the Germans decently, but they are not clasping them to their bosoms, so to speak, Stories ternization” in American zone spring largely from what the Germans say about the Amer- icans—about how nicely the Americans treat. them. « The Germans They ‘wake it hour propaganda, talk, they are careful to treat the Americans respectfully... ‘They > do everything they cam t6 ‘fan the wide- spread feeling among the American soldiers that the French charged them extortionate prices dn every hand.

This situation is regarded as behind Premier Cleménceat’s statement about America and Amer! Tecently. He was quoted as’ saying: : “IT am told that some.of these ,gal- lant American soldiérs, who liyed in trenches, slept in dugouts and burgow- ed in the mud’ in devastated and war- tarn France, when they crossed the Rhine and in an undevastated, land found clean beds and baths, rather re- gret that they fonght on the side of freedom and would rather have fought on the side of the ‘murdering Germans, I do not believe it, Iam sure there is no.

D., March 19.—W. H. Stutsman returned yesterday from a speaking tour in the eastern part of the state, where he had been talking tc farmers ‘and business’ men on the measures passed by the last legislature, and he declares that the farmers are thoroughly aroused over the nerve of the socialist bosses of the Nonpartisan league in claiming that such bills as the administration bill, the educational bills and. the printing graft bills were what. the farmers wanted, and. league legislation. ‘This. matter they. claim had never been submited to them. They have voted for terminal elevators and a state owned mill, and they mean to have it, but they are not going to turn over twenty millions to one man like Gov.
